Israel has killed 40 Palestinians in Gaza since morning, Al Jazeera Arabic has reported, quoting medical sources. 

The number of those killed includes at least 6 aid seekers. 

Israel has enforced a near-total blockade of aid on Gaza, leading to widespread starvation and famine. Gaza's health ministry put the total number of hunger-related deaths at 266, including 122 children.
